Wow, well I have no excuse. Well yes I do. Our lives our crazy. But we are doing really well for the most part. Emma just got over having strep throat. It is so hard to see your baby so sick but luckily she bounced back really quickly. So much has been going on. I started a new job 3 weeks ago. I am working for a restaurant group in Midtown and I love it. They own Restaurant Eugene, the Holeman and Finch Public house and they just opened a bakery called the H&F Bread Company. I am doing accounting for them with an old co-worker of mine from when I used to work for a catering company doing the same thing. It has been a breath of fresh air. My old job was just about to ruin me so it was great to get out of there and realize that I still have a brain. It is still a commute but I love my new schedule. I work 8-5 M-Th and work a half day on Friday's which means no more Friday traffic. Whoo hoo! And more time to spend with Emma over the weekends. It was a fresh start that I definitley needed!

Emma is just crazy ol Emma. We finally got her first haircut last friday which was a lot of fun. You can't really even tell but they cleaned it up and it was fun to do and have our "first" haircut together. Unfortunately we missed 3 weeks of swim lessons between bad traffic, Labor day and then a lightening storm but we finally made it back this past Monday. She walked right down the steps of the pool and just started "swimming" I think she did it for about 10 seconds or so before she realized she was doing it on her own and then sunk. Hopefully we are on to something. We may do it one more month after this and then take a break for a while. With the Holiday's coming up etc. it will just be too much. I'm not sure how the Holiday's will work for us this year. I'm pretty much just ready for it to stay September forever. I have some rough months coming up ahead but I know that I'll get through them.

It seems like I always think of so many things to write and talk about with Emma etc. but when you wait too long to mention them it gets tough. I will let that be a reminder to myself to update this thing more. :)
